[Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the promoter of adiponectin gene and essential hypertension in Chinese Korean and Han of Yanbian region].

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in adiponectin gene promoter and essential hypertension (EH) in Chinese Korean and Han of Yanbian area, 220 EH patients and 268 normotensive control individuals were enrolled. PCR and direct DNA sequencing were used to determine the -11426A>G (rs16861194), -11391G>A (rs17300539), -11377C>G (rs62620185), -11156insCA (rs60806105), and...
